Seeing as Grieg takes center place in our PS banner, I decided on re-recording one of my favorite Grieg sets. The previous version was from 2007. It was not altogether horrible, but this new version is in a different class, correcting many read errors, slips, and sloppy playing.

As before I opted for one track rather than many small ones. I should really look into the possibility of indexed mp3's again.

Thanks for this. I first intended to listen to only a few but couldn't stop and listened to all. Good choice to make it a single file, these pieces really gain in being grouped, individually they are kind of trivial but together they create a rich atmosphere.

My only wish would be for a table of contents with start times for the pieces. Your playing is very sensitive and expressive and conveys the moods very well. In view of this effort minor slips are insignificant (and you probably won't redo them again anyway). I'll just mention one thing: I would wish a little less pedal in no 24. But in all a great performance of an underplayed and undervalued set.

Thanks Joachim, I'm glad someone else than me likes them. Somehow I find these both more personal and more folk-like than most of the Lyric Pieces. Some may be a bit 'trivial' as you say, but others are really deep and over all too soon.

I'm still scratching my head about how to organize sets like this. A single track is better to make people listen to it all but it should also be possible to single out individual items. It's so easy on YT... just put a timing in a comment andit automatically links. I'm not sure if such a trick can be done with mp3's.

I am considering redoing some or all of the fast items, which is where the little fluffs are. Re. the pedaling on no.24, I guess you meant the opening bars ? I find those hard to bring off, and experimented a bit with the pedaling. Not convinced it was the right thing do do. I could have another go, it never hurts to do some (partial) re-recording.

Ah, I have so little time for comments.Just wanted you to know that I got to listen to all of this and enjoyed it. I've become a bit of a Grieg fan since joining the Society - it really helps that you've recorded so much of this because a member can feel that (s)he can get a real sample.The single file is probably better; having the legend with the times and titles gives the details to anyone who wants them.
